Happy & Healthy Products is a U.S.-based wholesale-distribution franchise founded in 1991 by Linda Kerr Kamm in Boca Raton, Florida. The brand is headquartered at 1600 S. Dixie Hwy., Suite 100, Boca Raton, FL 33432.

The company began franchising in 1993, entering the franchise market only two years after its founding. It operates under a home-based model, allowing franchisees to distribute its signature Fruitfull frozen fruit bars, as well as grab-and-go snacks and breads, into locations like hospitals, fitness centers, colleges, and retailers.

Happy & Healthy differentiates itself by targeting health-conscious adults using real fruit pieces and high-quality ingredients, offering a variety of dairy-free, gluten-free, kosher/halal, vegan, and vegetarian options.

Training

Happy & Healthy Products offers a comprehensive, tiered training structure to support franchisees in successfully launching and operating their business:

1. Initial Training Program: This is required for all franchisees and includes a one-week program for a Classic Franchise or a two-week program for a Premier Franchise. Training is conducted onsite within the franchisee’s designated market area (MSA), and includes assistance in placing Freezers and securing initial customer accounts.
2. Jumpstart Training Program: This two-day program is mandatory for all new franchisees and must be completed within one year of finishing the Initial Training. Premier franchisees must attend this annually, while Classic franchisees may opt in for future sessions, with associated fees after the first year.
3. Convention Attendance: Franchisees must attend a company-sponsored Convention within two years of starting operations and every three years thereafter. These events cover operational improvements and updates; while there's no attendance fee, travel and related expenses are the franchisee’s responsibility.
4. Ongoing Support and Optional Training: A marketing consultant provides guidance across various operational areas such as sales, account development, competitor analysis, and logistical optimization. Training is also available on new product lines and systems enhancements.

Territory Protection

Happy & Healthy Products does not offer exclusive territorial protection to its franchisees. Franchisees are assigned a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in which they can operate, but they may still face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or different distribution channels that the franchisor controls.

The franchisor reserves the right to establish other sales operations within the MSA, including online, catalog, and telemarketing sales. The franchisor will not grant more than one Classic Franchise per 100,000 residents or one Premier Franchise per 1,000,000 residents in a given MSA.

However, this limitation still allows for multiple franchises in a single MSA depending on population size. Furthermore, while a franchisee may have the right to operate within a defined territory, it does not prevent competition from other outlets under different trademarks controlled by the franchisor or its affiliates.
